Plant seeds along each side or let long vines grow up and over the top

Makes the most of limited garden space by creating shade for cool-season plants underneath

Growing cucumbers on a trellis minimizes disease problems and keeps the fruit straight and blemish-free. This A-frame trellis lets you plant a row on both sides; or, let long vines grow up, over the top and down the other side. The sturdy, powder-coated steel frame supports heavy loads and has big 4" grid openings for easy harvesting. There's even room to grow salad greens in the shade under the trellis. Use in raised beds or in-ground gardens.

I saw this in the catalog both in print and online, and decided that it was the smartest way to grown cucumbers and other climbing squashes. I bought my first one last year and ordered a second one for next year. It was exactly as described. Putting the spring-y thing on it to put both sections together is a bit tricky and I would suggest that either better instructions are provided or it is sold already put-together. This is my only "complaint" about it. I love it!

At the begin, I use the trellis for grid system planting. I love how the vines /cucumbers dangle off the ground and are straighter. Also, the grid system keeps my chicken out the raised bed - esp. their dirt bathing time.

I love this trellis. I grow pickling cukes every year and can 36-40 quart jars every season. The trellis helps me keep the plants growing up and using space efficiently. I have 2 and plan on getting more. The best was being able to use it so quickly out of the box. I love the way it goes together.

I'm passionate about pickles. That's why caring for my cucumber crop tops my list of garden chores. And to me, there is nothing worse than a soggy, limp, crunch-less pickle. My biggest goal is to make sure they stay crisp!
